MP, ACBL Robo-dupe.

 

Partner doubles 2S, and you ....

 

... mouse over 3D and it describes the bid as "10+ HCP; biddable D"

 

... mouse over 4D and it describes the bid as "10+ HCP; biddable D"

 

I shall give you 1 guess as to how 5D is described. (There is a clue in the thread title)

[Bbradley62]

The 10+HCP comes from the initial double. 3♦ is less rigid than "biddable":

My bad. I can't prove it now but I wonder whether the mouse over explanation changes when you actually bid it. If it ever looks like happening again I shall screencap.

[iandayre]

Surely you're correct that those D bids should have different meanings. I would suggest that if (reasonably enough) you are not going to sit for a double of 2S, then you should not have doubled 2C. Wouldn't 2S by you have been forcing with Diamonds?
